    New Ways of Loving challenges most assumptions about love
and replaces them with new forms of loving relationships:
Romantic love, sexual attraction, & conventional marriage
are replaced by new relationships beginning with our self-inventing selves.
We can love freely instead of imposing obligations.
We can love without needing, possessiveness, or jealousy.
We can love beyond our imprinted sexual fantasies
and our enculturated gender-personalities.
We can weigh the pros and cons of having children. 
And we might even love beyond our existential loneliness.
